Hello. I've been lurking around these parts and, thanks to the fantastic bra interventionists, now know that I've been squishing into the wrong sized bra for many many, many, many years.
The problem is that after rather a lot of unsuccessful attempts at buying the right size online I think my only hope is to get myself to a bra fitter for some proper advice. Fine in theory except that I live in the wilds of Cumbria and the nearest Bravissimo, Manchester, is 3 hours away! Looking online there is a place in Carlisle called Turnbulls which gets good reviews but I don't want to travel 2 hours to find they measure just like M & S and have a wasted trip. The ideal places would be Whitehaven or Barrow but I could get to anywhere on the train, including North Lancashire.
So, does anyone have any experiences of bra fitters in Cumbria that don't follow the old measuring systems of whacking 4 inches onto your band size?

Any decent bra fitters in Cumbria? Anyone tried Turnbulls in Carlisle?

Hello mrskitty, I use them and can add to the good reviews. Lovely, calm, no-nonsense ladies who will do their best to find the right bra style and fit and will consider your budget too where possible. No tape measures to be found! Let me know if you make a trip and fancy a coffee! 
Completely off topic, I know but I don't think there's a lot of us.

As an aside, the local site seems to have quite an emphasis on the south of the County. I guess it just depends where the moderator is located, and as we know, we're in a large area with a relatively small population. Or maybe we're all just really too shy to post in case we're instantly recognised irl.
